Importance of budgeting

[Ishicryptic]

Budgeting is very important for everybody that makes money, including companies and governments. So far you are getting money on a regular basis there is need to have a budget for how you spend the money. Even when you are gifted money that you didn't plan for, there is still need to make a budget so that you don't waste it on things that are not important to you. The simplest definition of budgeting is having a plan on how to allocate money so that you will not misuse it.

It is said in economics that human wants are insatiable so you have to know the difference between wants and needs. As human beings we want many things that we can't afford so we have to focus on our needs (essentials). Then we have to prioritize the 'needs' and the most important one is the first to be allocated funds to, then the second and down the hierarchy.

It is the same for business people and governments, they have to start from a planing stage and arrive at allocating funds according to importance of their expenses and projects.

Budgets requires discipline, what does not fall into the plan should be carried over or suspended. You can add other importance of budgeting that you know so that we can all learn from each other.

Contentment is very essential in managing a budget.  When people want to buy even things they don't really need, it affects their financial plans. We should have control over what we spend our money on because it is not everything we actually need.

There have been some threads on budgeting recently and it's just cool because,  financial plans are essential.

If you want to live an orderly and prosperous life, then there must be a budget in your life, even for the smallest things, such as giving to others from what you have, because budgeting is that important in this life.

okay we can see who lives an orderly life, most of them live happily and stably, because they will anticipate things that they cannot predict that could come into their lives, we must see that life is not flat, when you get a salary and profit every month we must realize that it will not happen forever every month or every time we do business, therefore budgeting is very important for the endurance of a more responsible life.

This boils down to the idea of knowing your priorities in life. Stick to your basic needs, and set aside your wants so that budgeting can play its vital role and can be performed in a well-organized manner. This is not only for the poor individuals who always lack money, but even to those who have accumulated wealth on their bank accounts. The more money you have, the more you will practice budgeting as it becomes a guide to track your expenses and manage your finances.

Money is something that's expendable, no matter how much you think you are earning if you don't have a budget you would always end up broke. Setting aside a budget for the things you want can prevent you from spending wrecklessly. People who don't have Budgets end up using their money get things that they didn't even plan for in other words things that are unnecessary for them. Everything you are going for should have a specific budget don't just spend anyhow.

Most companies are profit looking organizations so they really need to allocate budget well because they are gonna want to minimize the amount of money they will be spending and maximize the amount of money they will be receiving. As for the government, they of course need to budget well because money is limited and they need to work with what they have to sustain the entire country and make it better.

It is the same for business people and governments, they have to start from a planing stage and arrive at allocating funds according to importance of their expenses and projects.

We should take inspiration and do this as well. You’d be surprised by how much control you will feel with the money you have.

Its just the basic thing to be done but tons of people do failed out on following it out on budgeting. It all matters about on how you do balance your expenses with your earnings on which if you are buying up things on which that it is that getting huge slice into your income and turned out that those are useless things or not that needed, then sooner or later you will definitely be experiencing that overdropped. We do know that we do have even more priority when it comes to expenses like food, shelter and insurances and emergency funds but if you are someone who dont care that much because you are prioritizing wants instead of needs then you will definitely be ending up on having that huge problem later on which you do have that regret that you shouldnt have done that but well its already too late. People do make out learnings when they do experience out shit conditions.

Well that's the general gist of it. To give some obvious benefits well, being able to generally keep track of your finances actually helps a TON when questioning where tf did your money go. And from there you can plan out a lot of stuff for the future. Investments, stocks, bills, vacation plans, etc. can even make one for like half a year and see whether you hit the mark or not, and then adjust as the events happen.

Except for Overtime Pay. That shit almost always 100% goes to entertaining yourself like food, short trips, hobbies, etc

However, budgeting can be learned if there is willingness to learn. So I don't see any reason that it will be a barrier if you want to build a business or anything that pertains to money management. Real-life experiences will serve as the best teacher, and your own mistakes at first will leave you a big lesson on how important budgeting is, and how it should be done properly and organized.

Budgeting is good because it saves you from spending money on things that are of less importance to you. Budgeting makes you to identify the things that you needed and not things you wanted. Without budgeting, funds will be mismanaged due to wrong financial decisions. To show how important budgeting is, every country has their own budget annually and everything they need to do is being followed from the budget. Budgeting requires a proper planning and even if you must go above your budgets but you won't lavish money extravagantly.

The budgeting system in Government is usually much more intricate and complex than the budgeting system in a Company, although there are some similarities between the two. Budgeting is usually based on a plan short term, medium term, and long term, which makes it easier to realize. Of course, along the way there are adjustments, due to certain situations, but it does not make what has been planned to be stopped.

Managing a personal budget is much easier, but it requires self awareness to implement, there is no control from other parties, as is the case in companies or in Government. By determining priorities and distinguishing between needs and wants, I believe everyone can manage their personal budget better.

Actually, budgeting is a discipline and it's part of it. This also includes saving and moving on to the next part of it which is investing. But when a person gets over with the beginning then that's how they'll determine themselves on how to be a better person. But, budgeting is never out of it. We become a better in handling finances if budgeting is a part of it and we're seeing the important matters that we need to spend money for and have to remove those that are not part of it. We learn from our own and we don't want to fall into having a bad life because budgeting is part of survival.

I’ll admit, this is something I struggle with too. Even if I’m earning a decent amount, it’s true, when your income goes up, your expenses often follow. That’s why budgeting is super important. It helps keep life less stressful and more balanced.

There are so many things we can buy with money and temptation is always around the corner. The problem starts when we give in and go over budget. That’s when the issues start piling up especially if unexpected expenses come in, like emergencies. That’s when it really hits.

I learned about the topic of budgeting since junior high. I also learned about it in senior school. Every year, the parliament approves the budget for the country presented by the president.

In organizations they have budgets prepared before embarking on different projects. They even have for the fiscal year. Budgets work in these situations. From my own experience, budgeting hasn't worked for me. I barely write it down . I only have it in my head because it is either I overshot it not consciously but because of inflation of prices or I completely abandon it.

Budgeting is important but you must have enough to do it well.

budgeting is not just about putting pen to paper working out income vs outgoing. as thats just accounting
budgeting is not just about prioritising money towards important needs. that is again just accounting

budgeting is actually about understanding the costs of things, to find alternatives that cost less, in essence reduce the spend amounts

Nobody has a monopoly if knowledge, what you don't know can be learned from others that have experiences in the area, so budgeting can be learned inorder not to spend unwisely. In this generation you don't need to go to school or enroll in a course to learn about budgeting, AI and Google can give you answers and share links that can help you to learn. It is not necessary to understand the importance of budgeting from your own mistakes because you can go bankrupt and be in dept before you understand. Increase your knowledge about budgeting from other people's successes or mistakes, also take advantage of the internet to learn.

The hardest part of a budget is implemention. I am sure many people have well articulated budget that failed during execution. Finding alternative is very important in budgeting because there are always cheaper substitutes.

When I saw that imported cereals where expensive for m to buy for my children, we had to switch to locally produced foods. We also observed that house rent is increasing in urban areas, which made us to relocate to semi urban areas where houses are more affordable. My family also considered homeschooling as alternative for sometime until our finances increased.

Budgeting is important for you to be able to spend your money on things that you have planned well in advance. With budgeting, it will prevent you from spending your money impulsively and make it easier for you to manage your money. The impact is that you can prioritize which needs are the most urgent, you can see where you have spent your money, and arrange how in a month you can use your money properly and sufficiently.

Many people underestimate budgeting.. they don't think it is an important thing and only spend money when they need it. In the end, when approaching the end of the month they realize that their money is running low and they are confused about where their money has been. With budgeting, things like this can be prevented.

When you don't make financial budgets, you will end up in financial crisis because a good budget planner will be successful and can achieve financial freedom. Budget will help you spend within your income and also help you prioritize your needs first before any other thing. It controls you on how you manage your income and have something to save at the end of the day.

One needs discipline and contentment in order for him to be able to excute his budgets successfully and achieve his goal.
